Flowers Around The Yard

 I love our little flower bed.

Between the birds and bees it's like grand central station.

Having 3 bird baths, 2 bird feeders and lots of blooming

flowers doesn't hurt.

 Watering the cherry tree this egg popped out of the mulch -

Wilson is my witness to this fact.  I have no idea how it

got there or who laid the egg so I put this photo on the

Maryland Birding page on Facebook.  A few guesses -

a vulture egg [not likely] or a wild turkey egg [more likely].

If anyone has another guess I would welcome it.

 Our back flower bed is a bee factory.

 Limelight Hydrangea

 Calla Lily

 Julep followed me from the back to the front of the house.

 In early spring I sprinkled a handful of wildflower

seeds in a bed we have next to our driveway.

It had the river birch tree which we had removed

last year.  The wildflowers love this area and

I'm sorry I didn't plant the entire bed in seed.
